Herat castle, before the ruins were in ruins......
When I took this picture many years ago the old ruins of the Bala Hissar fortress were still a sight dominating the sprawling life in Herat.
Later the trouble started with so many who wanted bring law and order, liberation, the true religion, democracy, peace and freedom. As all these benefits were introduced with the help of less peaceful means the ruins really became ruins and so many lost their life. All this great work was done in the name of Allah and God, except by the Sowjets. Therefore those atheists got no blessings and lost their struggle, the others are all still doing their job for the benefit of the people of Afghanistan.

Hallo, bin vor einiger Zeit auch in Afghanistan gewesen. Ist schon verrückt und traurig, wie das Land von Fremden aber auch den eigenen Leuten in Schutt und ASche gelegt worden ist.LG Bodo
